The Interview Curtis Yarvin Says Democracy Is Done. Powerful Conservatives
Are Listening.
 https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/magazine/curtis-yarvin-interview.html
 For a long time, Curtis Yarvin, a 51-year-old computer engineer, has
written online about political theory in relative obscurity. His ideas
were pretty extreme: that institutions at the heart of American
intellectual life, like the mainstream media and academia, have been
overrun by progressive groupthink and need to be dissolved. He believes
that government bureaucracy should be radically gutted, and perhaps most
provocative, he argues that American democracy should be replaced by what
he calls a “monarchy” run by what he has called a “C.E.O.” — basically his
friendlier term for a dictator. To support his arguments, Yarvin relies on
what those sympathetic to his views might see as a helpful serving of
historical references — and what others see as a highly distorting mix of
gross oversimplification, cherry-picking and personal interpretation
presented as fact.
